Style 4782, 1971
I made this dress (view 3 to be exact), quite a few weeks ago, but have been wearing it so much I haven’t had time to share it with you!
Here it is:
Little red dress, made out of mid-weight poly-cotton twill
A close up of the little pockets on the front:
The neckline is square, with a pointed seam running under the bust:
I wanted this dress to be really quick to make, so I left out lining and kept hand stitching to a minimum. I used a combination of French seams on the center front and back, and run and fell seams at the sides:
The only place I used hand sewing was to insert the zip, and to finish the neck facing and the hem, which I faced with a section of light poly-cotton cut to the shape of the skirt hem:
And that’s that! Take a look at my blog to see a few more pictures
